I have put these four files into the addons folder and only then can I enable the plugin, But when I export, there is no export option on the right

You should use the zip file from the asserts of the latest release and install it with blender. 

Releases:

https://github.com/tobi-be/BlenderEdmExporter/releases

Be aware that this exporter is not thought to export downloaded models and have a working model with 2 or 3 clicks.

Install:

• Download io_BlenderEdmExporter.zip from asserts of the latest release.
• Blender: Go to Edit->Preferences->Add-Ons, press install and choose downloaded zip file
• Activate the add-on

It is written in the readme. Please read it.

What is the action, and what is the reaction here ?

 

THINK

 

A lot of expanding gases are produced in compartment with one exit - those gases are released by that exit - it's a lot of mass going one direction - this is the action. The reaction is the projectile in which this action is taking place, being moved by equal force the opposite way.

 

Where's the helicopter, or even the launcher in this ? It's a ROCKET, the RECOIL is what's acting on the PROJECTILE, not launcher or helicopter. Are we really going to continue through 4th page of discussion about a failure in basic physics ?

 

Has anyone ever tried to blow a lot of air through a drinking straw without moving it or holding it?  Of course there is friction

Since modeldrop turned out to be nothing more than disrespectful vapour ware my repo is back online with the appropriate releases. Please do not mix this thread with future foreign distributions of my exporter to avoid confusion when troubleshooting or debugging.

[How make Roughmet texture??]

Shaders in blender do not matter for edm export. Roughmet ist used only when you fulfill the naming convention. There are multiple places in the forum how to do that. One here

Diffuse and roughmet have to have the same name but the roughmet has the addition _roughmet at the end. This not the case here. You have to rename the roughmet.

Nothing new for Blender 3.2.0? I can't export anything

 

 

[How to export this as an EDM file?]

I would recommend to load models with a flag into the modelviewer to check how it is done in DCS. Since it is a gameengine you have to stick to basic and simplified approaches. My guess is that a flag is a mesh exported as a two sided skinnode and animated with a few bones. Clothsimulations won't be possible in DCS.

Finally... you can add more than one visibility action.

Thanks to Copperhead. He fixed bugs in Bake Action

At least 1 and not 0/10. Did you read the readme how to use it? Who did you just ask to make a new one?

[Blender export edm error]

It is is a problem with the skinnode. For which part do you use it? There are some crucial points you have to follow in the readme

[Question to EDM gurrus: dark backside alpha textures ?]

Cool thank you. Looks like no influence of shadows. Maybe it is obsolete

[Question to EDM gurrus: dark backside alpha textures ?]

Could you try different combinations of blendend and shadows on the solid material? You could summarize the results and I could add it to the readme.

[Edm exporter : collision model problem]

You can check some examples with the modelviewer. For example the Kuznecow. It does not have lines only shells. Even on its runway. Same for Farp or the Oilrigs. Lines are important for aircrafts and helis but not or statics on which you want to land or roll.

[Edm exporter : collision model problem]

collision boxes are mainly for damage identification. Collision lines are the one's which are colide sensitive. 
These lines must be placed everywhere on the Model to cover every possible collision.
All lines and Boxes need to have a proper naming which one can grab from Modelviewer.

Example:

Yes but here it is about a ramp like a heliport or a deck of an aircraft carrier not about a model like a heli.

[Edm exporter : collision model problem]

Did you also add the Collision Lines ? These are very important:
Additionally - there are some lines of code necessary  to colide perfectly.

For a ramp?
